Eugene Joseph Takash, 81 years old, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Monday morning, May 4, 2015, with his family by his side. He was born in Connorville, Ohio to Steven and Elsie Takash. "Pop," as he was affectionately known, was a friend to everyone he met and was loved by all.
Pop was a loving husband to Rita for 60 years. He was a loving father and mentor to his four children: Terri (John) Tillman, Tracy (Mike) Black, Tim Takash and Trisha (Billy) Fisher; grandfather to Melissa, John Jr., Jennifer, Joe, Brianna, Mikey, Makayla, Sierra, Olivia and Delaney; and great-grandfather to Kevin, Dylan, Jeffery, Cordé, Holly, CJ, Fisher and Johanna. He is also survived by his sister, Dorothy Larkin.
Pop, you will be loved forever and missed tremendously.
I love you always, Mel
Love,
Sis
The extreme closeness and special bond you shared with Tim is one of the most beautiful father/son relationships Ive ever witnessed. Tims devotion, self-motivation, endless knowledge of just about anything (just ask him) and love of racing are just a few characteristics that are a reflection of you!
The love and devotion between you and Rita was such a treasure and a true example of what all couples should aspire too.
Going forward I can say with certainty that you will continue to leave your mark on this earth with the incredible family youve left behind.
Pops, youve touched the lives of so many people and left your special mark on this world. You will live forever in our hearts!!
Love you Pops!
